Massachusetts State Trooper Luke Bonin, 35, assigned to the State Police Dartmouth Barracks, had just left court when he saw a homeless woman on the side of the road holding up a sign asking for help.
He drove past the woman and later returned with two meals, one for her and one for him. But she was unaware of the officer’s intention.
“Thinking he was there to remove her from the side of the road, she immediately stated to him that she would leave, that she knew she shouldn’t be there with her sign. But Trooper Bonin told her, ‘I’m not here to kick you out.’ He then extended the two meals and told her to pick one,” the Massachusetts State Police wrote on its Facebook page.
